After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Hornets 115-85. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; the Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
